I was selected at random to do a test mailed to me a few weeks ago has part of a national survey, my result was negative I had no antibodies to the vjrus.

 

 

 

 

If it is the attached letter I just got it in the post, I think that I must be on a list of people prepared to take part in medical research because I am also taking part in research into bone problems in women over 60 😱

Hope your test comes back negative Graham, and your daughter’s too Avril.

Glad Kalos is feeling better too.

 

Still mild here, just went for a 50 minute walk rounds my local streets, I’m really warm now!

It's your own fault Harry those words are not PC 

I on the other hand had elocution lessons in a local mineworkers club and was taught 

how to speak really  reight & proper.so would not use those words  (they had better )

My Mrs always does the cooking in our house and one pancake day, I asked could 

"I give the pancake a toss" and she said no 

So to this day I have never given a toss, to a pancake  and doubt I ever will.

 

  See I can say I dont give a toss about you pr-icking your finger

Just been reading the latest Covid death rates and how if we were to send all our loved ones

who have sadly passed to the football ground in Sunderland it would fill each and every seat there .

Infact over a thousand of those deaths would be turned away as the is no seat for them .

Even if they brought out a vaccine next week we would still have to take care as we have 

a long way to go yet to stop this virus.

Just looking at all those empty seats ,we have to do our bit and keep safe..

Take care and stay safe everyone !

Just did it again and it worked.

Thanks for promoting our fantastic football ground.

Just need to go to Specsavers to see some good football.😇

I told Pauline and she said her letter was requesting the swab tests for survey.

There was no swab involved in the test, my original letter was the same has shown by Josie.

Talking about PC words, am I the only person who does not know the current acceptable way  of describing people who appear not to be of European origin?  Can't think of another way to phrase this.  

 

Just when I think there is a word I am allowed to use out loud, I find it has become unPC.

 

I don't want anyone to put any actual words down, just wondering why it changes so often, and one can get caught out, as some well known figures have been recently.  Is there  regular publication somewhere of what is acceptable?

 

 

[PORT ROYAL]

There is one PC word to describe all people who are not English by birth or inclination.

Foreigners

😉

Foreigners may declare that the English can also be considered  foreigners.  How this be can be true, because Foreigners are not English and the English are the only people who can make the final decision as to who is, or not, a Foreigner.

My wife was selected for an antigen test about 6 weeks ago, quite simple to follow when the kit comes through, no swabs as this is a blood testing process.

 

Had some good news today, my brother’s step daughters who live in the South of England both had positive tests about 2.5 weeks ago, the youngest in her mid 30s was quite ill as she has asthma, had one blue light trip to hospital, but was not kept in as not deemed serious. She is now recovered thankfully, her sister only showed very mild symptoms so was able to keep going although had to isolate for 14 days.

I think the politically correct answer, though it might upset some, is to try if at all possible to avoid any references at all to countries or continents of origin.

 

Far safer all round, and since we’re all the same anyway, often with very similar places of origin in our historical backgrounds, it doesn’t really matter anyway.

 

I don’t think there is a single term that can easily be used safely. Interesting question though.

Good to hear that they are on the mend.

What is up with some people ?

This evening just before dusk, I noticed a middle  aged man walking down our street on 

the opposite side to my house, nothing new there .

What he did next made me think "what planet is he on ?"

Smack bang outside a pensioners gate he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks , bending 

his body back ,then coming forwards as if he was headbutting an invisible opponent.

At this point letting go a very loud and powerful sneeze.Then carried on his merry way again .

No attempt to catch it in his arm or use a tissue if he had one.

I thank the government for the public TV adverts ,Hands,face and space  but maybe now 

would be a good time to bring back some of the old adverts I grew up with .

It seems some people have learnt nothing when it comes to germs and covid 

Thing is he is not on his own .

Just learnt that my grandaughter was sent home from school yesterday as someone in her class has tested positive for Covid. Fingers crossed she hasn't caught it.

[Presto2]

Have just checked out on here - been a long week and I seem to have missed so much after just a few days. Much love and best wishes to all of you who feel unwell, have results pending or who have friends and relatives affected.

 

Someone (sorry can't remember who) is worried that a child's class has been told to stay at home. Try not to worry too much - just one positive case in a class of 30 or group of 60 can mean they all stay at home to err on the side of caution. This has become increasingly common in schools now as a precuation so better to keep them all safe 🙂

 

Take care my CC buddies X

Of course it does. All those stars do is put a flashing light over the word to bring your attention to it. I notice Scunthorpe is still there in all it's glory so there's hope yet.  Excuse me now, I must make sure my ankles aren't showing😊
